Why are the blades breaking on my TMG TMG-PSM27 Saw?

  Elizabeth HernandezAug 3, 2025
  If the blades on your TMG Saw are breaking, several factors could be at play. Ensure the blade isn't too loose, as binding between guide blocks can cause breakage; in such cases, tighten the blade. Also, the gap between the guide blocks and the blade might be incorrect. Additionally, adjust the blade tracking. Reduce the feed rate and push the head slower through the log. If problems persist, replace the blade.

  If the blade keeps coming off the bandwheels of your TMG Saw, try these solutions: First, ensure the blade is properly tightened. Second, check the gap between the guide blocks and the blade, making sure it's correct. Third, adjust the blade tracking. You might also need to install new belts or a new blade. Finally, try slowing down the feed rate and pushing the head slower through the log.

  Matthew BellAug 11, 2025
  If the blade on your TMG Saw dulls quickly, it could be due to a couple of reasons. The logs might not be clean and contain dirt or sand, causing premature wear. Also, the tree might contain nails, staples, or old fencing.

How to fix excessive vibration in my TMG TMG-PSM27 Saw?
- L
  Laura JimenezAug 16, 2025
  Excessive vibration in your TMG Saw can stem from several causes. Make sure the log is clamped firmly, resting on the log bunks and against the log supports. Belts may have flats in them from leaving blade tension tight when not in use (replace them). Inspect and replace the bandwheel bearings if worn. Also, try slowing down the feed rate when milling. Finally, check all bolts to ensure they are tight.

  Teresa CarrollAug 20, 2025
  If the blade on your TMG Saw is slowing down or stopping while milling, ensure the blade is tightened. Also, check the drive belt tension; if the belts are worn or too loose, replace them. Additionally, try slowing the feed rate down and pushing the head slower through the log.

  Amanda GarciaAug 26, 2025
  If your TMG Saw is producing wavy cuts, try the following: Tighten the blade. Ensure the gap between the guide blocks and the blade is correct. Adjust the blade tracking. Install a new blade and always use blade lubricant. Slow the feed rate down and push the head slower through the log.

Why is the last board from my TMG Saw tapered?
- C
  Casey GutierrezAug 28, 2025
  If the last board cut with your TMG Saw is tapered or narrow in the middle, the tracks may not be level. Check the tracks with a level and adjust them to be square. They also need to be set up on a firm, sturdy ground/base so deflection does not occur from logs or sawmill head.
